 All right, so first up is to set the municipal tax rate, which we have to do every year and we have to actually have it out tomorrow, right? Well, I'm going to print the tax bills tomorrow because they legally have to be mailed 30 days prior, so our plan is I'll print them tomorrow, then they will be stuffed and mailed on Wednesday and Thursday. That way they're out 30 days prior. The only thing I didn't get a chance, so the the municipal tax rate will be 1.0664. And what was last year's rate? Last year's rate was the 1.0408 plus 0.0041. It would have been the two of those together. Teresa, I was kind of curious if you could speak to why such a jump, and maybe that's not a big jump. It just seemed to me like a bigger jump than I'm used to seeing. I'm going to put Paul on speaker. Sorry. I think I think Paul, sorry, we're going to put you on speaker. I don't I don't know what's going on. We're having I don't I don't either. It just won't work for me. I think initially. So I'm going to we're just starting with the tax rate. So I'm just going to put you between Chris and I. Okay, thanks. I think initially, Linley, we had talked about 2%, which gets confused with 2 cents, which typically our tax rate in percentages line up almost identical. So if we do say 1%, it is 1 cent. So it actually went up, you know, just a hair over 2 cents. And I know we had budgeted for 2 cent or 2% increase, which was just a hair over 2 cents. And then like Teresa and I were looking at the grand list did actually go up slightly, not enough to really make an impact in the tax rate. Like remember the previous year we were going to go up 2 cents, but then the municipal grand list came in. It went up to the point where it covered the whole 2 cents for us. So I think that's where where we were at for this year. And I know overall when you count, this is this municipal tax rate, but when you count the whole tax rate, including education, it's gone down by about 4 cents. When you factor in the education piece of it. Yeah, 1.64%. It's gone down if you look at the education. It went from 2.6 last year to 2.56 this year. So there's a little bit of difference in the local agreement rate and the local agreement rate is the tax that we have to pay on the veterans exemption. We have to pay school tax on the veterans exemption. We also have to pay school tax on the veterans exemption. We also have to pay for a grant. That's the other exemption that gets voted every five years. So that went up by a hair, .0040 to .41, or actually I mean it dropped, so excuse me. And the state, of course, sets the education rate. So overall, the homestead tax rate is up, is down 1.64%. And the homestead tax rate is down 2.07%. So overall, tax rate didn't go up this year. Thanks. And it will be starting the reappraisal next July. July. Yeah, July is when the reappraisal starts. I double-checked today with Mo and Judy. And that's like a two-year process, you said? That's a yeah, but two-year rolling reappraisal. So if it's next July 2023 and it be done by the end of 2024? Yeah. So well, not to jump off topic quick, but when that does happen, because we were talking just on what was going on in Brookfield and stuff. So let's say it ends December 2024. Now we've already set our budget. And then the when do those appraisals then kick in? Does that kick in the next physical year of July or do they kick in instantly? They don't kick in instantly because you have to lodge your grant list in April. So what would happen is depending when they finish the reappraisal, the tax rate and they had to have and had their grievances, like the tax rate would most likely it would begin in that tax bill that's issued in July of 2020. So we could potentially get in the same issue where we've already set our budget? Yeah. Then you have the reappraisal. Right. And you could be, I don't want to use the word overtaxing, but you could be taxing at a higher rate for about six months until you develop your new budget, right? Well, or undertaxing, I think, which is what's going to happen to them because but they set a budget knowing that their tax rate was going to go up because they hadn't done a reappraise or that their grand list was going to go up because they knew that they hadn't done a town-wide reappraisal since 2007. So when they did their budget, they increased their budget significantly, like 9%. 9%. They increased their budget. And I think knowing that obviously their grant list was going to increase. So they took it into consideration. Otherwise, you're right. So we're going to have to be really careful with this budget. Not this next one. The next budget season on making sure we kind of line up our costs where we think the grand list is going to come into it. And we might have some information by then too, being that it's a rolling reappraisal. And just to be clear for the record, we are always careful about our budgets. Well, we are. But we will be extra careful. Yeah. So I think we might have some information. Yeah. Because you're right. Otherwise, some people may have not basically said they could have done more than they had. You know what I mean? Maybe they could have done more knowing that the grand list would go up and they may have missed that boat that first year. Sorry, I didn't want to get off topic. No, no, no. It's fine. Well, it's not because it's not off topic because it makes sense. So obviously, again, the state sets the tax rate. Some of these will change because people that haven't filed their homestead yet, people that may be considered non-residents will become residents. So there's always a little bit of change as we move forward. Any other discussion in regards to the tax rate? Any questions, Paul? No. Okay. Naves move to approve. Second. Okay. Lindley second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. All right. And next up, we had the discussion in regards to a purchase of new piece of equipment. So we had an equipment committee meeting a few couple of weeks ago, and then we met again today. The suggestion at the last meeting was to increase the annual appropriation just because, and this was a good example of that, how much equipment prices have gone up. We purchased basically the same vehicle in 2020-2021 for 198,000, and we're looking at purchasing the same vehicle for 257,000. Also, that includes a belly blade, which is about 12 grand, but still just shows you what equipment prices are doing. So I updated this page so that you could see the ending balance was accurate for 66,972. They have not yet decided on the wheeled used excavator. They're waiting for an oil sample, and they may rent it for a week just to really see. I know not everybody on the equipment committee is excited about this specific piece of equipment, but we'll see how that goes. But people that were present today, Jeff Gilman, Ray Blakeney, Moe Brigham, they were all in favor of purchasing this Western Star. The interesting thing was not everybody is even getting a vehicle this quarter. So ATG Westminster was able to order one truck, and when they called other people to get, they wanted a similar vehicle, they said they were not getting a vehicle this quarter and they didn't even know, in some cases, some dealerships didn't even know when they were even going to get one. So the only changes we need to make are to let them know that it needs to be green and not red if they're going to go with the belly blade, which they recommend that we do. And there was one other small change, but other than that, they were the only ones around with a piece of equipment. So originally, was this freight liner originally planned to be...? No, it wasn't, but they've dumped about... Oh, Paul! He's here! So they had... Where was this originally scheduled to come out? It was originally slated to come out in a couple more years, but they dumped $10,000 into that vehicle last year, and they're still having serious electrical issues and other things, so they don't want to dump any more money into it. So the dump body had been replaced because someone had had an accident and we replaced the bed because we had an insurance claim. But we basically got nine years out of it. Well, that's what they had hoped, but it's already... It was a fair field, the body was, and it's already peeling, and they're having issues with it. So I figured, look, we spent $1,000 on it basically because we just paid our insurance deductible, and they're giving us $50,000 for the trade, which is more than we thought that they would give us. But the feeling of the Equipment Committee was, we're just throwing good money after bad to keep into this vehicle, so they had actually juggled the schedule a little bit. So that was the recommendation of the Equipment Committee was to get... So trade for $50,000, they wanted to deduct $10,200 because they want standard, they don't want an automatic, but then they wanted to add $12,950 to get the 11-foot powerverse underbody scraper with one-inch mold board. So basically it's a belly blade that they feel that they can use spreading materials and at different times when maybe they don't need the greater out. Currently AJ is the only one who knows how to operate one, so the other guys will be learning. And like I said, they were saving $10,000 by going to standard. That was what they wanted, and Mo and Jeff agreed with their decision to go to standard. They felt like they had more control over the vehicle. So their plan is they need to meet again, and they will meet again once they get more information about the used equipment. And then they need to sit down and start looking again at the greater and excavator kind of look back, kind of look a little bit more at it. Morgan had a different take on we moved or they moved the sidewalk cloud, which was something we thought that they needed, that they wanted sooner, but Morgan disagreed. He put some work into it and didn't feel like it was a priority. So they're going to keep that a little bit longer. You know, sometimes different road formants have different takes on the equipment. So anyway, so their equipment committee said yes. They wanted to move forward with the purchase of the 2023 Western Star to replace the 2013 freight liner. And Dave moved to approve it. Okay. Any further discussion on it? Okay. All in favor? Aye. I think the only unfortunate piece here is we were trying our best to spread those two big purchases out because we had somehow got ourselves in the position where we were buying these one year over the other. I know. Well, because they bought them in two years. But we were hoping to spread that out another year or whatever. We were. We're going to be assuming the trucks all stay the same. It's going to be another buy one one year and buy one the next. I know. And they wanted to do the same thing, but they're just like, it doesn't make sense to keep, you know, what are you going to do? Throw another one. So the adjustments that we're looking at at appropriation time is going up another 5,000. Yeah. What I had done originally. Basically 5,000 a year for. Yeah. What we had done originally was said 115, 115, 120, 120. And then just with the price of equipment and stuff, the last equipment committee meeting, they were like, we can't do this. We need to increase it. And obviously there may be times, you know, within here that we may be able to adjust but or keep it frozen one year. But with the price difference already, it's crazy. So they also are agreeing that it's that they are going to have to make friends with used equipment. You know, they just can't. They're just not sure that this used piece of used equipment, this wheeled excavator is what's right for them. So that is yet to be determined. Now we still pretty confident that we're going to get another seven or eight years out of the greater. That, you know, remember they dumped, not dumped, but they put money into it a few years ago because the equipment committee at the time felt that the stuff that was coming down the pike, they weren't happy with and it was very much computerized and they just felt like what that they were better off putting the money into this greater and hanging on to it. So it's a big purchase and I know they struggle with it. So but like I tell them, you know, it's a schedule and we have to adapt. We're going to have to move things. And we also, I know that Morgan and maybe Hazen too, we're looking at different options. What if you leased? What if you, you know, own different things like that, which may be something like that, maybe worth looking at. It might be more affordable to us by the time we go to purchase one of those things, it's going to be a big number. All righty. Anything further on the highway equipment? Then we have discussion of the internal financial controls, just a checklist. I did send you all a link, all the select board members, including Jean, a link today about a training for select board members, if any of you are interested. So this is something that's required every year. And so you see it every year, Pam fills it out, I went over it with her. And basically you're just signing it that you've received it. And it kind of tells you who does what. Obviously we're in the process of being audited now. And they want to know this too, to make sure basically the same person isn't depositing the money right in the check, going to the bank. Bad things happen that way. So obviously we don't operate that way. But if you have any specific questions about it. Are there any controls that are here that have shown up on the audit list as problematic or something we should be looking to adjust? I don't think so. I was written up because I didn't get, sometimes when I'm making corrections or doing journal entries, I might only have my own signature on it and not somebody else's. But I don't think that's in here. Nope, if I just have written policies, we do have that. I don't know about that. Nope. Oh, sometimes our bank accounts and fund balances. DTRIB does balance all the bank accounts on a monthly basis. But if a fund balance doesn't necessarily have its own cash with it, that fund balance may not be reconciled on a monthly basis. But other than that, no, I can't think of anything on here. Usually it's because my, something's off, like they had to make an audit entry for beginning balances or anything like that, but not on here, no. All right. Any other discussion in regards to the internal financial controls checklist? If not, just need, just need a motion to accept. Okay, all in favor? Aye. You just need to sign it right here. I'm just, you're just signing that you received it. Okay. Just one board member, just myself? Yep. Four for wants to go before the judge. Whoever wants to go before you. All right. And then we had, well, I mean, so we have Kyle Cartwright that's going to formally resign from the Planning Commission, but Zoe Cartwright is going to move from a part-time to a full-time members on that. Yep. And the Planning Commission was fine with that at our last meeting. So the Planning Commission has to approve it, then it goes to the select board. Because weren't they, were they both alternate members or something? Yeah, they, Kyle started and Zoe was his alternate. Oh, gotcha. So that's how it worked. And then he's gotten really busy with, you know, biking in the rec club and, or rec, excuse me, committee. So she said at the last meeting, I'm going to be the regular. So then of course the Planning Commission was fine with that. So, but then you guys have to bless. Okay. So just need a motion to approve Zoe Cartwright to the Planning Commission full-time? Move to approve. Okay. Move by Dave. Second. Okay. Second by Paul. All in favor? All right. Okay. Yeah, it's just a glare. Oh, big deal. I tried to turn it down. They're there somewhere. Yeah. And then we had a formal resignation by Cecil Washburn in regards to the Cemetery Foreman slash Commissioner. Yeah. I believe that he is still doing the digging and some of the equipment, manual labor type things, but no longer being the commissioner. Right. He's still, he's digging graves. And but what we're going to need is he has agreed to continue to dig graves and he's paid for that by days funeral home or whoever the services. But what he will no longer do is locate the lot and mark out the lot. So that has to happen by a cemetery commissioner, which is the select board. All along we thought he was a cemetery commissioner, but apparently he was to Foreman. So he actually recommended Dave Eddy. He thought that Dave Eddy would be good at that. But I told him that we, the select board have to decide. So currently I'm not aware of any funeral, but you, but somebody needs to agree to do it. You'll have to go to the cemetery, locate the lot, mark it out, find the cornerstones. And I'm not sure, but you may also have to sign the burial certificate. I'll have to double check on that. Cecil, second Cecil's motion that it be Dave Eddy. Well, I also, I don't, you know, if we don't, if we don't accept Cecil's recognition, resignation, then he's going to be there anyways, right? So he said no way. Guess we can look at two ways. Yes, he had agreed that he had started that. So he was agreeing to, you know, take care of that. But I didn't see it. Have we formally put that out there? No, no, because you hadn't accepted his resignation yet. I did. I have approached a couple of people, but so far no takers. And I think that so anyways, at this point would it be best for us to go through the normal process and see if there are any. But you still someone in the takers, and then in the meantime, if something does come up, then we run an emergency. You have to, because you're the commissioners. Somebody will have to go out there and do it. Yeah. So we'll be looking apparently looking for a cemetery foreman, not a commissioner, because you guys are the commissioners by the wording of that, of that policy. So it was unfortunate. He was under the impression that they had, that he was a commissioner and that they'd basically, I think someone had verbally told him, they'd basically said, here you do this and well, then when they passed a policy, he didn't see it. So, um, any who. So yes, in the meantime, as cemetery commissioners, it's your responsibility to mark the graves. And so those of us on the screen can't see if Dave is having any reaction to any of it. Yeah, I don't hear anything from Dave. He's just, he's not saying, I think. So it just, first we'll just. Probably true. So first, we'll just need a motion to accept Cecil's resignation. Okay. Dave moved it. Second. Okay, all in favor. And I guess the second part of that is, is there anybody on the board that would like to take that in the short term while we locate a cemetery foreman or do we want to? I would do it, but I have no idea what he's done. So Cecil would have to agree or at least once or twice to be through it. I think that he would, especially because he suggested you. And I know where my law is. Perfect. But you're not going to need it for a very long time. So, uh, but, um, so yeah, I'm sure that he will. I mean, he'd suggested. No, we'll advertise and I've been trying to. End of October. I've been. I'll give you to end of October, but we'll have to discuss it again. Okay. So Dave will do it in the short term, kind of like. And I'll advertise. A few of us did the health commissioner there thing in the short term and then we'll look for a permanent solution. Yeah, I'll advertise now. And I'm still trying to. And they don't have to wait for the end of October. No, I know, I know. And I'm still trying to talk him back into coming back. Did Cecil have any individuals that he could recommend or? No, well, he won and I approached the guy and the gentleman and he said, nope. He didn't. He, well, because he felt that you as a board maybe didn't back Cecil. And so he didn't want to be the next in line to inherit that. So he said, no. Gotcha. So, but I tried and I'm still working on Cecil. Every time I see him, I'm trying to soften him up. So. No, I know, I'm still, but he has so much knowledge about it. I really want him to come back. But. No. Oh yeah. No, it just happened to be the person that Cecil had mentioned. Because he already cares for a cemetery near his home. So I asked him, I'm like, oh, you know, what do you think about this gentleman? And he's like, oh, no, he'd be good if he'll do it. Then when I reached out to me said, no, but no, we'll all advertise for a cemetery form. And then Dave, Eddie, I'll put a note that has to go back on the schedule in October. Back on agenda. But hopefully by then we've long had someone volunteer. Well, yeah, I mean, I guess it's too bad that Cecil feels that the select board wasn't backing him. And I guess, I guess the way I had interpreted our solution is more of a win-win for him on, you know, either either the artificial flowers and the picking up of them is going to work. You know, the weekend after Labor Day or it's not, and then we're going to change the rules, right? So I, you know, I guess my vision anyways was it was one way or the other, it was going to make his life better. But maybe not instantly today, but, you know, after Labor Day. So I said, you know, this is the time that we're going to allow this to happen is when the real problem is. It's not so much after Labor Day. It's Memorial Day through the summer when the Moors are, and for whatever reason, they're not going to, they're doing it cheap enough so they're not going to stop and pick up every little piece of thing. They're just going to, and there it is all over the place. So we could have gone a lot, a lot more and say, okay, it will need to be secured totally secured on the grape site. Well, we did say it does need to be secured. It said that we need to create rules, and that was how I tried to get CESOL to, I'm like, oh no, but we, you and I, because you, the motion said that there, they could do it based on rules created by the Cemetery Foreman and the Cemetery Commissioner. Well, CESOL said no way that he wasn't going to be involved because he was resigning. So we still have to create those rules. So that might be, that might be something to think about when we're creating them. Yeah. Because we had talked about there was a couple of different fastening systems. Yes. Because we have a couple of different books or whatever that do that job that we can coax him back. Yeah. So I'll put, so I'll put that back on the agenda for next time that we need to put rule creation back on agenda regarding stones and. I mean, has there been a movement of artificial flowers back into the cemetery since the last board meeting? Well, I did receive a call from one of the ladies that was president asking if she could come and get her flowers back. And I said, yep, by Tuesday, because then they're all going in the trash. And she came and took $5 worth of plastic stems and was going to go put them back on. But I said to her specifically, you agreed at the meeting that, and it was your idea about, you know, shepherds hooks and putting them close to the stone. I said, if you have a bunch of stuff laying around, they're not getting off to weed whack around and move all your stuff. That was a great idea. I think that shepherds hook thing or. So she said that, but I have not been up to the cemetery. I drove past East Bethel and there was nothing there. But I, so I think really the bigger activity is Fairview. So I need to go up and see what it looks like. And I will say that the signs are still up that say no artificial flowers, because I asked Cecil if he took them down. So we should get, so we should get, so I need to get them down. But I haven't yet. Maybe the tradeoff is at the next meeting, if we can. Formalize the rules for them. It could be, you take one sign down, you put another one up says artificial flowers approved with the use of blah, blah, blah, shepherds hook or whatever device or something like that. I'd like to visit a place or whatever to see what someone else has done with that shepherds hook because in my mind, I'm very terrible at visualizing. But in my mind, you can put that on the back of the stone, it hangs over the stone, so the flowers are there and there's, and it's a piece of steel. So the weed wacker doesn't hurt it. That's what I'm envisioning. I was going to go up and check out their stones. That's what it is. Since it was Elizabeth Bridge's idea, I was going to go up and see how it looked because she came to get the flowers and ask. See now a lot of places, including Cherry Hill, they want you to put in a flush marker. They don't want any upright monuments anymore. So there is no weed wacking, they just zip right over it. So the shepherds hook will slow them down, but it still will only be whatever piece of steel. You're right in that diameter. It's not, they're not very big. Even if we were to go so far as to who the hell did that? What? The balloon. Oh, I don't know. I didn't even notice it. I don't know why I do it anyway. Sorry. That's okay. I don't know if it was up there from prom or from the memorial service that happened this weekend here. We might even be able to, in the rules, make strong suggestions about this is what you need to use. And maybe even go so far as to make it available for purchase. Well, they can buy them locally at, I think, Bethel Mills, Central Supplies. I know, but then you've got four-foot-high, five-foot-high, three-foot-high. Well, I think setting a height is part of the rules is a good idea. They can also get them from dandelion acres, I think. But that's a good idea, Dave. So I'll put it on the agenda for next time. And in the meantime, I will, before that, I'll go up to Fairview and look at their stone and see if she's the only one I know of who is going to do it. Fairview, that's the one on the way to Randolph, right? Yeah. That's a horribly-looking cemetery in the old section. We were up there last year and it's like a third of the stones are broken, knocked over, and I said, boy. I know. Well, I was working with Cecil. We just got the application to get some stones repaired. And now I'm not sure if he'll do that grant with me or not. So this past weekend, I had the opportunity to visit a cemetery where my folks are down in Rhode Island. And I chatted with the Cemetery Commissioner down there. And I got from him what they use for guidelines for artificial flowers and whatnot. Very specific about dates and exactly how to attach them. And I think that we can use some of these policy decisions that they've already made down there. This is, granted, this is a huge cemetery. But I think that we might be overthinking it by trying to deal with the shepherd's hooks and all these different kinds of fasteners and all this kind of stuff. So I'll make copies of that and send it to each of the select board members. You a lot of it we won't use, but I think some of it is good food for thought about how to be specific. Say you can use a shepherd's hook or you can attach this way or you can attach that way or whatever. No, you will do it this way. That's right. So did you hear Dave? He's saying he agrees that it should be very specific. Yeah, that'd be great. That would be great if you could send us all copies. Thank you. All right, I'll make a note. Look for Paul's email. Okay. Now that I'm the new foreman. Now that you're the new, you're still, no, you're, you're, you're just interim. You are just acting as the cemetery. All right. And then we had the purchasing policy that we had approved at the last meeting with edits. And now we just, for the most part, just need the signatures on it, correct? Yes, because I hadn't bought, I had, I had not brought with me, excuse me, at the last meeting, a clean copy, which was my bad. So I put the date that you adopted it. So if you guys, Paul and Lindley, you know, just, I'll leave the policy because there's only two signatures on it. So we'll just need you to sign it at some point next week to do so. I won't be back in town until later. That's fine. Nope. No big deal, huh? We'll hang on to it. All right. Thank you. Yep. Yep. Perfect. Thank you. All right. And any, anything else under the American rescue plan money? No, just I have the RFP out and I think the prices are due back July 20th. So the next meeting, we should have the RFPs for the generator and the sewer pumps. And so we'll have an idea that what amount of money we're talking about for those. Is there an update on the fire lane situation? We talked about doing an update the next meeting. Yep. Actually, I just, I just barely sent an email tonight to Erica, one of the residents of Fire Lane. And I had made a spreadsheet and Kelly went through and updated it so that it listed every property owner, everybody's, what they had for zoning permits, what they had for acreage, parcel number, that sort of thing. And a lot of the people up there did not require zoning permits because if they just made it, you know, they didn't really change anything. They didn't expand their property. Some people had have zoning permits, but if they just did a remodel and they didn't add an addition, they didn't need a zoning permit. One of the things that she did was she had quoted the rule, the, one of the districts and said that we were allowing too much, you know, we were violating our own zoning policy, but we weren't. I mean, if people, if you look under the districts, it lists specifically what are your permitted rights and what are your conditional use rights. So if it's a conditional use, it goes to the DRB. So if they adhere to that, those standards, then, or they're an existing small lot, we can't legally not, you know, issue them a zoning permit. They, she did have a question about one property in particular and wanted, you know, about a curb cut and this and that, but they don't need a curb cut because they're on a private road. If they'd come off from a town road, we would have issued a curb cut. Also, people write on their policies or their permit applications, whether or not there's a slope issue. We don't go look at every single permit before it's issued. So if someone had lied on their application about whether or not there was a steep slope, but it didn't appear to be because there was a site visit done. One of the other issues that she had listed was saying that there was, we were allowing too much development on a private road, but the zoning bylaw that she was quoting was about subdivisions that didn't even apply to what she was quoting it as. So I did send her all of the information and I had sent her a prior email with Lieutenant Commander's name, number, email for the state police, Dan Mason and A&R, and we had contacted him about some issues. The only issue we currently have, possibly have, and I'm calling tomorrow, someone is building a home up there, but they're living in a camper, which we did not know. So we have since amended the zoning permit application and actually are making people tell us where they're residing while they build their home. Because if they're residing in a camper for over a certain amount of time, then they have to get a permit from the DRB. And that didn't happen because we didn't know. A lot of times people will tell us. I'm going to call tomorrow for one of the people building a house up there to see when they think they're getting in the house and go over the current zoning regulations about campers. It may be too late because by rights we would have had to issue a zoning permit or refer it to the DRB within 30 days and we didn't. So it may be a mute point. But we had not heard back from Dan Mason, the agency of natural resource enforcement officer. I had Kelly call A&R last week. He was on an extended vacation. He's either going to be back this week or next. And he's usually very precise, chop-chop, and he will contact someone right away. So I did send her an email and then made a copy of the email and put it in the box so that I could put it in your packet next time along with the information. So I did tell her if she needed any more information to let us know. And I'm going to go from there. Well, I did see that there's a property that comes down. It's coming up to sale. And it was on the front porch forum. Tony Vassar, I don't know if that was part of that role. She's not on something like the one-bath camp. That's not, I mean, it's one of the properties up there, but not one of the police action issues. I don't know about that. I think it's a camper that's for sale. I think it's a camp. It's a camp. It's a one-bedroom camp, one-bedroom, one-bath camp. That's what it said in the zoning regs. So we did provide her that information. As far as some of the other issues, obviously, there's no road maintenance agreement. It's a private road. And unfortunately, a lot of it is civil or police matter. So I'm hoping that things have been worked out up there. Thank you for the update with that. Do you have anything else on the town manager report, Teresa? Let me look. No, just working on, you know, the planning commission. Oh, and yeah, the family fund Fridays, I'm going to get you the schedule because they had their first one this last Friday. It went really well. And they're doing one another one next week. So hopefully, select board members even, you know, could buzz by. I think that there's one every Friday this month, except for one Friday. There's not. But I'll make sure you guys get the schedule. So tax bills go out and that's it. So far, so good. And we had the select board meeting minutes from the 27th. Is there any amendments to that, or is it good to approve as noted? Move to approve and printed. Okay, Dave, move to accept. Lindley second, all in favor? All right. There were a couple other communications in there with the planning commission and energy, I believe, that I saw in there. And the four best committee. The last thing I just wanted to bring up is I have an issue with our next scheduling meeting on Monday, the 25th. I know Jean currently won't be there. I don't know if a change of date helps him or not, but I know that I won't be able to attend. Also won't be able to attend, but I won't have any flexibility. I'm going to, this is the week that I'm up in the wilderness for 10 days. So if a schedule change for you guys works, you should do it. Just know that you then have three members not available for the Monday meeting. So I didn't know, I know on my end. So then we'll need to do it the 26th? I know on my end, the Monday before or the Monday after doesn't work for me either. I got a couple of Monday's stuff going on. Tuesdays are available. I can do the 26th. Can you do the July 26th? Sounds like Lindley's going to be out that whole week no matter what, right? Do you know, Julie, will Jean be available for Tuesday? I can't remember if he said that was just a Monday thing or if there was multiple days scheduled there. It's just a Monday thing. Yeah. Does that work for you, Dave? If you go to Tuesday? I'm not doing anything. You can do it on the 22nd. He's just hanging out at the cemetery. You may, you may be unhappy that you made this decision. Well, I don't think we formally appointed you. Well, that's okay too. He's doing the duties that he was assigned when he became select board. He's never had to do before. So Paul, does the 26th work for you? Yeah, there was a training session at Killington for tabulator stuff, but I've already been to two of them. So I can, yeah, I could do Tuesday. That doesn't affect your golf? I'm going to try and do tonight's golf, yeah. It's sad that I know your golf schedule. So I got treats. We had them on Tuesday. Well, I didn't want to goof them up. Um, the 27th on, I mean, I can do, I can't do the 27th because I have a planning commission and apparently a better connections. I don't know how I'm going to do both at once, but let's see. We just want to jump into the next one. Okay, skip the 25th and just meet August 8th. Just cancel the meeting all together? Yeah. So far, I only have one issue. So can that issue wait until the following meeting or? I don't think that person's going to think so, but I can talk to him about it. I mean, I don't think we have anything else pressing, do we? No, I don't have anything else in the select board box for, except that somebody who's on the existing water system wants to get off the water system. I gave him the legal interpretation of our ordinance, which said he could, but he's still liable to pay the vacancy rate. And he still wants to talk to the select board slash water commissioners. I said, that's fine. But now that they have a legal opinion, I can assure you they're going to side. They're, you know, because they can't set a precedent to have people leaving the system. But I did tell him I'd make him an appointment. So he, it's not unusual for it to have summer recess. So no, it's not. So if you want to like to remember, so we'll just go to the eighth, cancel the meeting on the 25th, and we'll just pick it back up with the regular scheduled meeting on the eighth. I'm not aware of being in city schedule conflict, but I may not know. Well, he'll be happy. You won't miss a meeting. So he'll be happy. So Jean will be happy. So that's fine. Okay, so we'll, we will have our next one on August 8th. I think one piece that I was thinking about today was because we are, you know, believe it or not, we are, Oh, if you're going to say the word budget, we are, we are three months away from the word the budget. So, and we do have a couple of items that we need to start discussing that could potentially affect the budget. So one being, you know, what we want to do with the constable, which, which, you know, kind of brings into that, you know, what do we want to do with the policing in the area. So I think on our August meeting, we should probably have that on there. And what else did we have from that, from the survey that was budget related? I mean, we had the marijuana thing, but that would just be on warning. Right. There was zoning. There's not much discussion with that. Town meeting in front of me, our town report in front of me. I'm trying to think. So there was marijuana, there was zoning, but we're already working on that. There was the constable, there was a better connections thing that people responded to directly. The Australian ballot stuff. Australian ballot, which isn't. So those things we can work on closer as we get to the warning piece. I think the other thing that will affect budget is, is what we're going to do with the town garage. I need to get prices to deal with that. So I think the town garage is going to do it. And then, of course, in September, you'll be making, or sooner, hopefully sooner, you'll make decisions about the generator and the sewer pumps. And then you'll make happy decisions about the American Rescue Plan money. And so we'll, you know, like I said, I mean, I'm pushing for roads and equipment, but we'll see. But anyways, the, but yeah, you're right. We need to talk about the constable budget. That's really the bigger thing. I make notes on the budget. Actually, my spreadsheet all year is stuff comes up. One of the things to is DTRI does not want to continue as the pool director. So that's going to change. I think she'll end up, I'm going to see, we may end up absorbing some of her hours in the town office budget, depending on what she, you know, what she wants to do ever schedule. And then that will change too. So there'd be somebody seasonal. So there would be no bennies, but overseeing some of the pool. And, and that sort of thing. Because Randolph apparently does not have, is not doing swimming lessons this year. I'm not even sure if Randolph pool is open. Oh, really? Yes. So, but they're not doing swimming lessons. So we've been inundated. Interesting. Inundated with that. So also too, was looking to, it'll be another salary thing, which is going to a fourth person for the road cruise. So there's a couple things in there, you know, that I've been tracking for the budget to talk about. But like I said, I make notes all year long, then I just, just easier to remember. Okay. But I will put constable on for the next budget, or for the next, for the August 8th meeting, along with the rules for the cemetery. Maybe by then, Dave, you'll have some, between Paul's stuff and you being there, you'll have some ideas about that. All right. Have we heard any feedback in regards to the health commissioner and how things are going on that end, or? Seems to be going well. He's very organized. He comes in, he has a file there and files his paperwork. And I know, I think at one point he met with Paul, so they had an issue, but frankly, I don't, I just, it's nothing to do with me. I stay out of it, but it sounds like you guys are. Yeah, I touch baseball every few weeks, just to see, and I go into the file and look and see what he's been up to. And he's, yeah, he's very thorough with his documentation and whatnot. Okay. Any other business to come before the board? It's not over yet. Anybody could pop in at any second. All right. All in favor? All right. Thank you, everybody. Thanks. See you later. See you later.
